![]() Offering the information in a format such as this can be so very helpful. The reason I emphasize this is that I often teach rather difficult mathematical concepts and one thing I have found over almost 40 years of tutoring is that people learn in different ways. I had a specific reason for coming to this page and before even watching the video, your synopsis below gave me most of what I was looking for in text. Too many tutorial makers assume far too much, again probably because of familiarity with the material, but taking a shallow approach can lead a new person into early mistakes or habits that can be hard to reverse later on as their development deepens.ģ) As you note often, new people can simply get lost in all the settings and options available and that really takes away from the lesson. The beauty is that you actually show energy when showing a technique instead of a monotone "lets get this over" type of approach very appealing and VERY helpful.Ģ) Technique treatment depth is critical. I simply like your voice style and I doubt you will ever change it as it is so consistent. That is a compliment, not a complaint! Your English is easy for this, granted native English speaker, but hearing impaired person to understand easily. The things I like best are things I know you will continue but which some others seem to simply forget over time perhaps it is simply too much familiarity with the subject but for someone searching for the skill, they NEED the added depth,ġ) Your speaking voice is superb except for when I am really tired and it kind of tries to lull me into a kind of artistic trance. Let's all admit that on occasion, even if we are the best at what we do such as a Monsieur David Revoy, a little enthusiasm can make a long day a bit easier. I realize that saying great job to you is ok but is not exactly offering anything other than enthusiasm. You can draw with this one on the surface of a shaded object, glaze skin shading to inject a bit of blood under the skin, add dirt or paint big casted shadows. White is equal to full transparency with multiply. Shadows, stains, dirt, glazing, it's one of the king of the blending mode in digital-painting, the darkening-only one Multiply. In Krita : HSY > Color and HSL > Color HSL Multiply I also use Color (HSY) with grey to desaturate zone, or do hue corrections. The result is often dull, and greish, but that's easy to fix with another pass of the overlay blending mode. ![]() I use the color blending mode to do a first pass of colorization over my grisaille. ![]() This propriety help me to shift values in the distance, and split different grounds on my artwork.Ĭhanging the color is the obvious mission of the blendings modes 'colors'. Lighten will paint only if the value on the canvas is darker than the value on your brush. Note: fun bug in Gimp since 10 years, 'overlay' is similar to 'Soft light'. 'Soft Light' is a more subtle variation of 'Overlay'. Overlay is also known for it's conveniency on layer to 'overlay' a texture, or a pattern over a surface. It can be used also to boost colors and give an object the first role in your composition. Painting wih dark tones will intensify and vivid the area. But over, and under this grey, Overlay will switch to a brightening or a darkening blending mode. If you select a grey 50% it will do nothing. Overlay is a conditionnal blending mode : it combine two blending mode in one. It has advantage of a stronger saturation and contrast over other brightening blending mode (Linear Dodge, Addition, Screen).Ĭontrast, vivid, boost colors here is my primary usage of my favorite blending mode : Overlay. Light, glows, coronas, lazers, neons this is the blending mode I use to manage all my light effect. Each blending modes in the subcategories can join the top favorite list by checking the checkbox next to them. This list contains favorites on top, and subcategories to unfold under. The default one is named 'Normal', press this button and you'll get a list. Where I can find it ? In Krita 2.9, the blending modes applied to your active brush is displayed on a button in the top toolbar. I'll aslo keep the list minimal with five one. I'll also not show formulas and math : it's a painting tutorial. I'll not perform here a cold listing of all blending modes as I saw on other tutorials. I'll not show all the blending-mode as other tutorials do. Goal : This video tutorial ( on top ) aims to offer to the digital-painter pratical tips to use blending-modes on his brushes. Knowing a set of useful blending modes can assist and ease your work for painting specific rendering. In short a blending mode is a math formula telling your software how to mix two colors : the ones on your canvas and the one on your brush. whaat?

![]() The arch was dedicated on the 25 th of July 315 CE, on the Decennalia (the tenth anniversary of Constantine’s reign). Constantine had actually entered Rome on 29 October 312, amidst great rejoicing, and the Senate then commissioned the monument. The Roman senate dedicated the arch to the emperor, having commissioned it upon his triumphal entry into Rome in 312 CE (see the commentary on Life of Constantine I.39). The Arch of Constantine, which stands prominently in Rome on the triumphal route, was built in around 315 CE, and commemorates the emperor’s victory over the tyrant Maxentius at the battle of the Milvian Bridge near Rome. There are round sculptures depicting the Sun (east) and Moon (west) riding chariots on each of the short sides of the monument, and below these is a frieze depicting the entry into Rome (east) and the departure from Milan (west). Above the two small arches the sculpture includes river gods and two victories, and the column bases bear winged victories with palm branches, Roman legionaries, and captives. On the north façade, the left side depicts the emperor addressing the people in the Forum, while the right side shows Constantine distributing money. The left side of the south façade depicts the siege of Verona, while the right side of the south façade shows the battle against Maxentius. The frieze scenes below each pair of medallions, were specifically sculpted for the arch. The Corinthian columns were commandeered from a first century Flavian monument, with the Dacian prisoners standing above them possibly being taken from an unknown monument to Trajan. The first two panels show Trajan or Domitian (again with the head altered to represent Constantine) charging at barbarians on his horse, and the emperor being crowned by Victory, flanked by females possibly representing Honour and Virtue, dressed respectively as an Amazon and in armour. The white marble reliefs in the two inner central arches, slightly altered, are from the Great Trajanic Frieze taken from the Basilica Ulpia in the Forum of Trajan. The eight white Luna marble tondi on the north and south façades are reused from a lost monument dedicated to Hadrian, and are set in pairs depicting various hunting scenes, and sacrificial ceremonies to Hercules, Apollo, Diana, and Silvanus. The head of the emperor on these images has been re-cut to resemble Constantine. The arch features eight marble panels, four on each of the façades, depicting scenes where the emperor is at war (on the south side) or carrying out civic duties (north side). ![]() The marble panels were taken from the Arch of Marcus Aurelius. The arch was constructed from a combination of earlier first and second century monuments. Sculpted panels and an inscription, repeated on both sides, decorate the block above the arches. The arch was therefore a combination of vibrant colours. The statue pedestals were Carystian green, and the statues themselves were in Phrygian purple. The frieze of the main entablature was constructed in green porphyry. Each of the four facades bear a Hadrianic roundel in purple porphyry. From this extend four pedestals, which each hold a statue representing a Dacian prisoner. In between the arches and on the ends of the monument are four Corinthian columns of Numidian yellow marble, which each stand on a pedestal topped with an entablature. There is a large central arch flanked by two shorter, narrower arches on each side. We seek to retell the story of our beginnings.The unmissable Arch of Constantine, standing roughly 21 metres tall and 25 metres wide is constructed of grey and white Proconnesian marble, and features three arches. ![]() Our open community is dedicated to digging into the origins of our species on planet earth, and question wherever the discoveries might take us.

The Jury, made up of more than 200 renowned European chefs and sommeliers from over 20 countries, praised the tomato’s sweetness, intense red colour and versatility. “We hand-select a limited quantity of the most vibrant tomatoes so you can enjoy bold, balanced flavour that sweetens any snack or home-cooked meal,” Mastronardi added.Ĭloud 9 recently received a Superior Taste Award Certificationfrom the International Taste Institute in Brussels. “From the first bite, you know this will be memorable: it’s a fresh snacking experience that comes from an unwavering commitment to quality,” said executive vice president Matt Mastronardi.

When you establish an office in your living room, it's important to select furniture with a simple design to make the room larger, as opposed to large, heavy furniture that can make the room seem smaller. The concept of consolidating several different rooms into one room can make the room seem much bigger as you have created many corners/uses for the room. Consider adding a simple desk, chair and maybe a small shelving unit for storage.Ī combined living room design incorporating a dining area, a sofa and a desk gives your room more depth. Instead of installing a big armchair, which you only rarely sit in, you can make use of a frequently underused space. Therefore allowing your work space to work in harmony which the decor of which ever room you plan to put your office in. A corner of your living room can provide the perfect space for establishing an office space. Most people choose a design in which the desktop compliments the rest of the room.

Storage - There are various solutions for storage furniture that can easily eliminate clutter from the desk, out of sight in drawers and cabinets. A drawer unit with wheels or chest of drawers is a great option for storing files and papers or use a bookcase to keep things organised and easily accessed. A minimalist desk with no large drawers creates a feeling of lightness in the décor and provides good legroom.ģ. Built-in drawers in the desk are practical, making it easy to organise office supplies. Your desk should ideally be both practical and attractive in terms of size and material. Small desks are great for light office work, while an office intended for working at home frequently requires a larger work surface for a keyboard, monitor, pc, printer and other equipment.

It was refreshing to be a part of a community, if only for a few hours. Walking around late at night, or sometimes in broad daylight, contains its share of risks. Ever since 2020, the gaming monitors in stores haven’t been accompanied by controllers. As summer approaches, we’ll see blockbusters from comic book giants Marvel and D.C., featuring familiar names such as Spider-Man, Batman, and The Flash. I recently saw a movie preview for “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” which provided some polish for a franchise first made famous in the 1980s. Such callbacks aren’t just therapeutic – they’re marketable. Blockbuster, of course, is a thing of the past, but the childlike desires of kids at heart remain. I was close to my son’s age when I begged my parents to rent video games every weekend. I often chuckle when people suggest that a Blockbuster card is a form of ID for millennials. I celebrated the occasion at my local Gamestop, which allowed gamers and enthusiasts to win prizes, pick up the game, and quite frankly, be kids again. One of Nintendo’s staple franchises, The Legend of Zelda, enjoyed its first release in six years: Tears of the Kingdom. Then, I picked up a sword in search of adventure. Last Thursday, a few hours before midnight, I left my house in a folktale-like fashion.Īs the moonlight draped the bedroom, I tucked my oldest boy under the covers for the evening. And that takes a lot of work. Today’s lead story, as arduous as it was, is an attempt to do that – to understand an important part of America just a little bit better, to help open the door to progress for all. Finding answers will be impossible without understanding those deeper forces. The roots of violence everywhere are as much mental as political, influenced by culture and values. But that same rule applies to all regions – in the U.S. ![]() To ensure he got the story right, Patrik went back a second time. What we found was a portrait not of policies or legislative bills, but of an underlying mental landscape and how that has led to higher rates of violence. Why?In traveling to Nashville, Tennessee, and Alexander City, Alabama, Noah Robertson and Patrik Jonsson sought to show different faces of violence in the South, in large cities and rural hamlets, without falling into stereotypes or shallow narratives. And within these trends, one sticks out for its clarity and constancy: The American South has dramatically higher levels of violence. There is no single “gun violence problem” in the United States, but different challenges in different places. Rather, it is a product of the subject: the roots of violence. American conversations about gun violence – particularly mass shootings – often revolve around gun laws and mental health.But the closer we looked, the more we saw something else. Today’s lead article was not one of those stories. That’s not criticism. An idea emerges, and with a minimum of fuss, it is done. Sometimes, a story comes together with kinetic beauty. |
